    Yes. TW and IH8Mud work great on my iPhone. I am able to upload pics and can easily navigate it. Just was nicer for me when it was all on one feed.

    Yes TW works perfectly on my iPhone, RCC not so much, pictures all blown out of proportion to text. But I don’t frequent as many forums as I used to anymore.

    Has anyone tried out Dravtec shocks? I finally ordered a set.

    About 10 years ago my brother in law and I ran Traxxas Slash for a few years. He also had the Revo as well. Fast forward to present day he picks up andw RC and he abuses the crap out of it and it's pretty damn durable. I don’t remember what brand it is but I remember our Slash breaking constantly when we took it to the skate park and BMX park when it was empty.

    Tapatalk uses a ton of resources and kills my battery. Plus it recommends other forums and makes the entire app crowded. I've quit running my round of daily forums. Some aren't even around anymore. I think the ones like TW succeed because they make it easier to use natively and also host the photos themselves because they realize the value they hold is in the information repository they maintain. They also do well getting vendors on to promote and all.... Just my opinion man

    That's a redcat Kaiju. Lots of 8th scale mt bashers the last 3 years that are decently durable. The arrma line has impressed me

    The annual fee makes all the ads and suggestions stop. But just like all my apps, none are set to push notifications except my emails and I close them all after using them.

    I have a set. I think they are glorified big bores. I have big bores and losi mini springs on a couple rigs that I thought were equally easy to build and tune. They are based off big bores though so for the cost the color choice is cool

    I ordered a set I’m going to try them out. Do you know if the losi mini springs work on them? I was wondering what spring tuning options were out there for them. I ordered 2 with soft and 2 with hard springs because medium was out of stock, I’m thinking the medium is probably the most popular.

    Dlux also does a super soft where they remove the coating on the spring. It's nothing

    I just recently decided to pull the trigger on a traxxas udr, they are on back order everywhere. I’ve wanted one since they come out so I’m pretty stoked on it, now it’s just playing the hurry up and wait game.

    Any pic of the crawler course? I just ordered a TRX and we are in the process of doing some landscaping. I have a selection of granite boulders, rocks and DG and will have a small waterfall/stream but I'm looking for some inspiration for the other 100ft that I have to work with.

    This should be fun. Hoping the battery arrives later today.
